OUR Friends, and all those who may have to write to us, are requested to be particular in directing, 111(1 to HEINE BROTHERS, in HAMBURG, 041 ,_ observe, that a letter with one inclosure doubles the Postage 10 1, but several inclosures would by far increase the same. Thus la k i' N 2l3l , or 301., for instance, if remitted in One Bank of Eng tv, Ste would only cause double Postage, but 101. remitted in f notes, would be liable to a much higher charge. It is there- Z e most advisable for any Person having to remit Money to Ham leghp to forward the amount in One Note; or having to receive :ley fro m Hamburgh, to receive the same in One Note, when- Poss:qale. Of course remittances from Hamburgh to England, I t aassing the usual amount of One Bank of England Note, may 1 ,"" be - ma ' de in Bills of Exchange, on London. e,„ ° save expenses that may as well be avoided, we request our r espondents not to overlook these particulars.

Mr. \VAL tiI. PlicT H right. The people must reform the ce nt ,use as t h ey did the Lower, or it will remain th i e ee " com e as unchanged as it has continued 141 the e°lllmencement of the present reign. Lord 111)11 tits • th e s in his memorable Speech at the close essio _ et; a acknowledged the responsibility of the ail b u • d Ni e l, a oldj .7 ec ared th e U pper H o use to be House of the people as the House of Commons. To the people, then, we say—" Take his Lordship at his word. In appealing to your decision, he has acknowledged your authority. Now is your time to exercise it with effect. The mouth-piece of the Lords declares the House of which he is a member, to be your House—to be amenable to you for its conduct. You have de nounced its abuses—proceed boldly, and reform them. Fear nothing. All power is derived from you, and is forfeited when exercised to your moral or social detri ment." This is our advice to the people. Organic changes are not to be effected by agents, in such coun tries as Great Britain. We lately inserted an interesting article from the Spectator, the object of which was to show the rapidly increasing prosperity and consequent importance of the town of Dundee, and also to point out the paralyzing influence which the factious policy of the House of Lords, instanced in the rejection of the Dundee Water Bill among others, exercises on the industrial re sources of the country. We accompanied the article copied from our Con temporary with a few remarks of our own, tending to throw light on the secret agency by which a measure calculated to confer an important benefit on a populous town had been defeated. The Tories of Dundee, we stated, smarting under the discomfiture which they had sustained by the ascendancy of Reforming principles in the Council, as well as in the Parliamantary repre sentation of the Borough, used all their interest to oppose the plan proposed, and supported by the Li beral party, for supplying Dundee with water. And in order that there might remain no shadow of doubt upon this point, they selected a Parliamentary instru ment whose name is a sure guarantee for every possible exertion in opposition to Reform and Reformers, while it is synonymous with all that is base and scandalous in jobbery—we need hardly, after this description, say that we mean Sir GEORGE CLERK. For expressing our opinions so freely on the subject, we have incurred the high displeasure of the Editor of the Dundee Chronicle, who has proved two things— first, that he feels particularly sore on this subject; and secondly, that a supply of water would be very desirable in Dundee, were it only to wash away some of the filth in which it would appear he is very fond of dabbling, and with which he does not scruple to bespatter all who come in his way. We cer tainly did not state all that we might have stated, because we were unwilling to inculpate, in proceedings so discreditable, parties who bear the character of Reformers. We did not bring prominently forward the unseemly conjunction of the would-be advocates of reform with its sworn enemies in a plot, where the pri vate interest of the one party, and the public interests of the other, were to be served at the expense of a large section of the community. We shall, however, now waive all misplaced de licacy, and proceed, without further preface, to show that The Sun's too correct knowledge, not its igno rance of the case, has prompted the intemperate Dundee article. 1. We must inform our readers that the Proprietor and Editor of the paper is himself the agent for the opposition to the Town Council's Bill, who 'spent many months in London in the service, both this year and the last, figured in the Committees of Parliament, and has a large pecuniary interest in the question. Hence the difference of tone and temper : , the article copied by The Sun from the Spectator, was really what it professed, statistical—dealing only with broad and interesting facts of a public nature—drawing them direct from official sources, and stating them in a calm temper. The Dundee article plunges into little local and private details, of no interest beyond Dundee (if interesting even there)—referring to no authority for them—and stating them in the abusive language of an intemperate and interested partisan. P' ,• 2. The Sun and the Spectator stated the case in its relation to the House of Lords. The details of the Dundee article, coloured and distorted as they are, relate almost entirely to the preliminary bickerings in the Commons' Committee, before, the Bill had as sumed the final shape in which it was presented to the Lords, after all the opposition in the Commons had been overcome. 3. The politics of Dundee may be inferred (if they were not very notorious) from the representation in Parliament. Sir. H. PARNELL has been elected three times without opposition—the first time, after s full explanation of his views of a very far-going and Radical kind, in the face of a meeting of nearly 3,000 people, with the Provost of Dundee in the Chair. The Town Council and the Member of Parliament are both alike freely elected by the same constituency. Yet we are abused for saying that Dundee is a radical town ! 4. Though there were various elements of self inte rest, pique and prejudice, as w e ll as politics, mixed up in the Opposition, it was politics alone that recom mended the case to Sir GEORGE CLERK. We are too well versed in Sir GEORGE'S Parliamen tary character and history—in his present vocation and functions as leading workman of the Tory party for Private Bill business—to believe that anything but politics would have induced him to toil and slave as he did, either for or against a Bill, for a Fart of the country with which he was so utterly unconnected as Dundee. The Duke of BUCCLEUCH is as little connected with the Dundee district as his cad, Sir GEORGE. From the appearance he made in Committee, it was clear that he had not mastered the case for himself ; but was acting as the tool of somebody. 5. In the division in the Commons' Committee, of which the Dundee paper gives a bit, we find voting with Sir GEORGE, Sir JOHN HAY, Mr. WORTLEY, both rank Tories, who attended at his bidding when the voting came. On the other side, we see none but stanch Liberals : besides Sir HENRY PARNELL, there were— Messrs. HALLYBURTON, CHALMERS, iOf the county. MAULE, LEITH HAY, SC lIOLEFIELD, MACLEOD, OLIPHANT. Not an individual connected with the Dundee dis trict voted with Sir GEORGE on any occasion. 6. The Liberal Members enumerated by the Dun dee partisan as voting with Sir GEORGE, did not vote uniformly against the Bill, but on some nicer points of opinion and form. FERGUS, though a Liberal in politics, acted for the disappointed Joint Stock Company, with some of whom he is connected in business. BANNERMAN, ditto, to a certain extent. He wanted the parties to compromise, not upon the merits of the Bill, but for expenses. AVEmYss is full of engineering and other crotchets, bears a grudge to PARNELL and the Dundee poli ticians ; and yet voted generally for the Bill, except on one point of form arising out of the Standing Orders. It is useless to go into the little local details of the Dundee partisan—false, exaggerated, or irrelevant. To these we oppose the large, intelligible, and zwre fittable propositions on which the Spectator showed that the Lords ought to have passed the Bill. More last words, and just as dull as ever ! The Tory Journals of this morni ng are f u ll o f a Conserva tive dinner given on Friday last at Northampton, of which it is not necessary to say more, than that the speeches made by the different orators, were merely so many echoes of the leading articles that have appeared in the Times for the last month and upwards. These Conservatives are not even original in their absurdities, which is remarkable, considering the rich materials for droll sophistry which their eccentric cause affords. While the apostasy of our Contemporary of Print ing-house-square was confined to questions of home policy, public opinion was braved, insulted—but not misled by his tergiversations. The perversions and misrepresentations in which the mis-leading journal in. Bulged were of easy correction, because the facts to which they related were known to almost every person in the United Kingdom. Still the foreign policy of our Contemporary underwent no change—a fact which we took frequent opportunities of recording with un disguised pleasure. But for the last three weeks we have observed a sad falling-off in the spirit of our Contemporary's foreign correspondence, as well as a decided change in the tone of commentary which that correspondence has elicited. There have been but few letters from Madrid lately, and these have been either remarkably brief, or so very common-place as not to repay the trouble of perusal. It was otherwise with the Spanish correspondence of the Times, before the proclamation of the Constitu tion. The falling-off in other quarters is not less ob vious, but we care not to enter into details which might prove injurious to individuals. It is really " too bad" thus to mislead the country on important questions of foreign policy, for the mere purpose of exciting an ig norant clamour against the Noble Lord at the head of our foreign affairs. We cannot imagine another mo tive, because we do not believe that any number of Englishmen could be so base as to betray the interests of the nation abroad for pecuniary considerations. It is obvious, however, that the Times is about to change the entire tone of its foreign policy, as regards the affairs of the Peninsula at least. Symptoms of this have been daily manifested for some weeks past ; but not till this morning was the fact so fully admitted as to defy contradiction. The method by which the change has been brought about, so as to wear the outward semblance of consistency, is curious :—A correspondent, " whose sagacity and means of infor mation are considerable"—" whose character is above suspicion"—and we hardly know how much more be sides, addresses a letter to our Contemporary, from the camp of Don CARLos, which is introduced with a flourish of trumpets as the precursor to many more which will follow in due course. As this writer is so very sagacious—intelligent—observant of what passes—and honest withal—it is to be expected, that in the course of his promised correspondence. a number of new lights will suddenly break in, and illumine the mental darkness of our Contemporary. We would almost venture to pledge ourselves that the "bigotry," " barbarity," " grovelling superstition," " sanguinary ferocity," and " barefaced and villainous assumptions of right," so frequently put forth by the Times as the most inviting attributes of Don CARLos, will, before the expiration of another month, be replaced by all the virtues that constitute the hero, and all the qualities that add lustre to the gems that encircle the Crown. To put the people of England fairly upon their guard, we will make an extract from the letter of the Times' sapient correspondent : " I leave this in a few days, with the intention of making a military inspection of all the provinces, and will communicate from each of the principal towns the state I find them in, with the means and resources they possess for carrying on the war. But any attempt to give any political opinion, or even guess as to what will be the ultimate fate of affairs in this country, would only be presumption on my part. On one point only can I give a decided opinion, and that is, the certain arrival of Don Carlos at Madrid, if not this year, the next. This asser tion is founded upon a military knowledge of the resources, as well as the comparative merits, of the two parties as soldiers. In any other country I should be able to name the day that the Carlists ought to be in possession of the capital; but it is impossible to be guided by any rule here, for the Spaniards are unlike all other people, and, should Don Carlos think it more advisable to remain in these provinces another year, no one can say how many changes may take place during that period--a republic, an absolute mo narchy, or perhaps the old feudal system revived, each province choosing its own leader and declaring its indepen dence, any one of whom at the present moment are always prepared to raise its independent banner for temporary pur poses ; or, what is more likely to take place than any of the above, is some three or four of the larger provinces, such as Catalonia, Andalusia, &c., united with some of the smaller ones as allies, sufficient to constitute an independent State, may establish themselves as Governments. The Catalans have long wished to be separated, that they might force the rest of Spain to take none but their own merchandise. Such is the deplorable condition of this unhappy country, that no calculation can be made as to what will be the result of the present revolution. I have but one hope, and that rests with Don Carlos, who with a firm hand, and a strong and honest Government, may restore the country to peace, and control these natural tendencies to separation, and so unite the several districts where there is at present so little similarity of man ners, and an opposition rather than a community of feelings and interests." The new Carlist Correspondent of the Times is as remarkable for his modesty as his sagacity. It would be presumptuous on his part to "guess at the ultimate fate of affairs " in Spain ; and yet in the very next sen tence he foretells the " certain arrival of Don CARLOS at Madrid," in the course of next year, at the very latest ! Now, with a knowledge of this fact, no per son could be guilty of presumption in deciding upon the " ultimate fate" of Spanish affairs—unless, indeed, the Correspondent of the Times means by the arrival of the Pretender in the capital, his arrival as a prisoner in the hands of the QUEEN'S Government. We re gret that he has left us in doubt as to his meaning upon this important particular. Though his only hope " rests with Don CA RLos," and though, in " any other country he should be able to name the day that the Carlists ought to be in posses sion of the capital ; " yet so strange a coun try is Spain so wondrously has it baffled the boasted sagacity of this writer—that he can only fix upon the exact number of years in which this great event must inevitably take place. We have said enough, however, upon a subject which is likely to be taken up in a less con c ili a t or y spirit by our Contem poraries. We shall rest satisfied with being the first to proclaim so utter an abandonment of principle. Madrid Journals of the 28th ult. have been received. General RoDIL has addressed a letter from his head quarters at Buendia to the Secretary of War, in which he states that he has opened a communication with Generals NARVAES, ALAIX, and SAN MIGUEL, and that he can effectually cover Madrid, Toledo, and Cuenca with his squadrons, without detriment to his observations on the left bank of the Ebro. The capital was so tranquil, that MARTINEZ DE LA ROSA was permitted to saunter about the Prado with out fear of molestation. The Government is making every effort to tranquillize the country. We have received the whole of the Paris Papers of Thursday. 'We copy the following telegraphic corn munications from the official columns of the ?lo niteur " BAYONNE, OCT. 3.—The Charges d'Affaires of Naples, Austria, and Sardinia, have quitted Madrid, and arrived at Saragossa on the 29th ult. Those of Prussia and Russia are about to follow them. Sanz passed through Cabuerniga on the 27th, taking the direction of the Asturias. A new batta lion has been embarked at St. Sebastian for Cijon. The Carlists have taken advantage of this to attack the line. There was a very brisk firing on the Ist, but without any re sult. Villareal has returned to Salinas. " OCT. 4.—The Carlists, wishing to intercept the commu nications between the English and the Spaniards, made an attack on the Ist upon the English, in their position at Alza, between the Port of the Passage and St. Sebastian, but were repulsed. The loss on both sides was considerable; between 500 and 600 each is mentioned. General Rodil arrived at Ruendi on the 25th. Brigadier Alain was still on the 24th at Villa Robledo, preparing to conduct his prisoners to thagena. " OCT. s.—The Ambassador of the King of the French arrived this morning at Bayonne. Ho proposes to set out. again this evening fur Madrid. " PERPIGNAN, OCT. 3, IN THE EVENlNG.—Brigadier Borso has gained possession of Baceyte, which has been completely plundered and burnt. The Carlist battalion, of from 4,000 to 5,00 men, maintained itself in the fort. Borso has returned to Tortosa. The elections of the 21 deputies commenced on the 2d at Barcelona. _ The attack on the British lines at San Sebastian by the Carlist's garrisons Hernani, Irun, and Fon tarabia was not unexpected by General EVANS. He was perfectly aware that the Carlists would take ad vantage of the absence of the 2,300 troops, sent to intercept the march of SIMON LA TORRE and PABLO SANZ into the Asturias, to attack the Legion with redoubled vigour ; and, very fortunately, he had taken the precaution to be ready to give th em a warm reception. After attacking his lines at several points, they were compelled to retire, but without any con siderable loss in killed and wounded. There is no other news of importan ce from Spain in these Journals. The following are extracts:— " Five vessels of the squadron commanded by Admiral Hugon sailed from Toulon on the 3d of October inst., under the orders of that officer—namely, the Jena, the Santi Petri, and the Vile (le Marseille, ships of the line ; the Diligente, corvette ; and the Alcyon brig. These vessels proceed to divers ports of Spain and Portugal, to protect our Consuls, as well as the persons of our countrymen, and also to offer to proscribed foreigners that refuge and that shelter which everywhere and at all times the unfortanate of all countries have found under our glorious flag. " The Suffrein ship of the line will shortly proceed on a similar mission to the shores of Catalonia. The Jupiter will be sent to cruise on the coast of Tunis." There is no news from Spain in the other French papers of Thursday. The Gazette de France complains of the renewed co-operations of the British naval force against the Carlists. On Thursday the King entered his 64th year, having been born on the 6th of October, 1773.—Galignani's Messenger. Count Mole gave his first Ministerial dinner on Tuesday. The table was laid with 168 covers. All the Ministers and .the whole of the diplomatic body were invited, as well as nu merous foreigners of distinction, among whom were the Aus trian Prince Schoenburgh, Count Pozzo di Borgo, Sir Ro bert Peel, and the celebrated German Hellenist, M. Tbiersch. The whole of the party were in full dress. In the evening Count Mole held his first evening reception, at which Lady Granville, the Princess Lieven, and Lady Peel were present. The whole honours were done by the Count alone, as the Countess ;$ not in Paris, and will not arrive till the middle of the month. Prince Esterhazy arrived at Paris on Tuesday evening, but it is said will not remain over Saturday, as he has instructions from his Government to proceed without delay to his post as Ambassador at London.—Galignani's Messenger. The Messager affirms that the statement of M. Tschann, the Swiss Charge d'Affaires in Paris, having received an order from the Directory to quit the capital immediately, is posi tive; but that, in consequence of a severe and sudden indis position, the Swiss representative has despatched a courier to Berne, to acquaint the Directory with the circumstance that compels him to defer his departure. The Messager adds, that he has already demanded his passports, and will leave Paris as soon as his state of his health will permit him to travel. The Revue de Paris states, that " M. Horace Vernet, who some time since returned to Paris, will make but a short stay in the capital, and that he has been largely remunerated by the Emperor of Russia for his preference of that country to France. A Lieut.-General is said to have been attached to M. H. Vernet's person during his stay in Russia, and it is added, that as he wished to visit Moscow, the Emperor lent him his own relays, by which he was enabled to perform the journey between that city and St. Petersburgh, in the incre dible short space of 36 hours. The artist has also been ho noured with numerous proofs of his Imperial Majesty's muni ficence, and, amongst others, with the gift of a suit of oriental armour, enriched with precious stones. The armour in question was originally in the Museum, but M. Vernet having one day regarded it with admiration, the Czar, by whom he was ac companied, immediately ordered it to be conveyed to his pro tege's residence. Paintings to the value of 300,000 roubles were also ordered to be executed by the favoured artist. M. H. Vernet is not the only French painter who has met with hospitality and patronage in Russia, M. Tanneur, a marine painter, having likewise reaped a plentiful harvest of presents in that country, and having obtained an order to the value of 150,000 roubles to pain the Russian ports." THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY. OCTOBER 8, 1836. LITERATURE. THE CONFESSIONS OF AN ELDERLY GENTLEMAN. Longman, London, 1836. We have been much amused by this volume, which is penned in a lively, graceful spirit. It is the avowed production of the Countess of Blessington ; and a great compliment indeed, ought we, elderly gentlemen, to consider it that her Ladyship has not thought us wholly beneath her notice. Conceive youth and beauty recording the worth of age and ugliness I But no, you cannot ; therefore read this book, gentle reader, and there you will see that silver-sprinkled hairs are not quite so unattractive in the eyes of woman, as hitherto you may have been tempted to suppose. The Elderly Gentleman before us had not less than half-a-dozen loves—he must have possessed an extraordinary capacity for the sentimental I—and if he was not successful with any one of these, it was altogether his own fault, as will be found duly stated in these lively pages. The truth is, he was all blush where he should have been all brass—had he graduated in the Emerald isle this would never have been the case— vacillating, where he should have been decided ; and always hinting at the " great question of questions," at the wrong time. His history is highly moral, and eke edifying, being throughout a practical illustration of the wholesome adage—that " faint heart never won fair lady." On looking over the different por traits of the old gentleman's " sweet-hearts"—the phrase is vulgar, perhaps, but an excellent one, never theless—we confess we are surprised, not so much at his not marrying one, as at his not popping the ques tion to all six. How could he have resisted the fair blonde " Louisa I" How have eschewed bigamy, in the presence of the arch brunette " Maria I" What was transportation for seven years, compared to the possession of the irresistible " Lady Emily I" Were not the bright eyes of " Caroline," a sufficient justifi cation of polygamy ; and could any jury have had the heart to condemn a man for forgetting that he had been once married, while basking in the smiles of " Lady Elmscourt ?" Impossible ! Strange however to say, our elderly hero not only did not espouse all these unequalled specimens of womanhood, but he did not even espouse one ! He seems, in truth, to have been but a poor creature—a " man made after supper of a cheese-paring"—one to have been " brained by a lady's fan"—and, consequently, not even Lady Bles sington's genius can render his character interesting. However, despite this defect, her book is a delightful one, and may justly be called the " Book of Beauty." The portrait of " Caroline," in particular, with her Cleopatra brow and eyes, is a perfect gem ; and bears a striking resemblance to a young lady to whom we ourselves should have been married, forty-eight years ago, had we not had a delicate split upon settlements— accidents which, as the poet sweetly sings, will some times happen " in the best-regulated families."

The case of Arnold and Fisher, the copperplate-printers, of Milton-street, Pentonville, which was befure the Court a few days since, and had been adjourned to afford Mr. Arnold, sen., an opportunity of paying into Court the amount received by him from the sale of the insolvents' property, was called on this morning. A certificate of the payment of the money having been handed up to the Court, the Learned Commissioner di rected the insolvents to be discharged. Joseph Quick, a butcher, carrying on business at Woolwich, applied upon his petition to be discharged. He was supported by Messrs. COOKE and WoonßooFE, and opposed by Mr. JONES. The insolvent deposed that he had commenced business without any capital in Oct., 1834, and had paid 251. for the lease and fixtures of the house. He owed Mr. Rice, the de taining creditor, 2161., for meat supplied between January and May last. Since then he had been dealing with Smith, another butcher, as Rice had been pressing him for money. He had paid Smith between 2001. and 3001. since he left off dealing with Rice, and now owed him 1221. He had also done busi ness with a Mr. Lambert, and was now indebted to him 451. He had been arrested in July, and two days before that he called a meeting of his creditors, and directed his solicitor to offer them an assignment of all he had, which he calculated would pay ss. in the pound. His book debts were between 601. and 701. when he gave up dealing with Rice, and they were now 221. The furniture belonged to his sister, and since he had got into difficulties she had removed it. The day be • fore he went into prison he had sold his horse and cart for 12/. Mr. Commissioner 13owEN said the insolvent had no right to sell his horse and cart, and that 121. must be paid into Court. Mr. COOKE, on the part of the insolvent, said that should be done, and the case was adjourned to Monday to enablo him to do so. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (THIS DAT.) BO W-STREET. DRUNKENNESS.— Thomas Allworth, a young man, without either shoes or stockings, was put to the bar, charged with being drunk in Holborn last night, and striking the policeman who went up to assist him. The prisoner's mother stepped forward and said he had been left a considerable sum of money, which he had received about a year ago, on coming of age. The family had kept him at home for six months after, and he behaved tolerably well ; but he then left, and had commenced a course of the lowest dissipation. Whenever he got drunk he came home and threatened her life, and the lives of the whole family. Only last night his threats of murder were terrific, and she had been so frightened for so l ong a ti me , th at s h e had become so nervous as to make her seriously unwell. The policeman produced 15 duplicates for property of various descriptions pawned by him. His mother said it was all his own property. Mr. Mirisnum, fined him 40s. for the assault on the police man, and in default to be imprisoned one month; and on his mother's charge he must find bail, himself in 401. and two sureties in 201. each, to keep the peace for twelve months. EMBEZZLEMENT.—Thomas Perry, a fashionably dressed young man, was placed at the bar upon a charge of embezzling several large sums of money from his employer. Francis M. Gill stated that he was a dealer in butter, cheese, &c., in Axminster, in Devonshire. He came up to town every six months, and entered into contracts with his customers whom he supplied from the country, and then sent up the bills to the prisoner, who was his collecting clerk. It was his dutyto re ceive the money, and immediately pay it into Esdaile's bank, to the account of the Bridport Banking Company. From in formation which he had received, he believed the prisoner had received many sums for which he had not accounted. The prisoner was remanded till Tuesday. In answer to the Magistrate, the complainant said the pri soner had acknowledged to him that he had received 2201., which he had lost in a gambling-house in St. James's-street. HATTON-GARDEN. John Derwish, alias Davies, a Mahometan, applied this morning to Mr. BENNETT for relief. He stated that he formerly lived in Bengal, but he has filled the situation of servant in different English families, and the last master he lived with discharged him without paying him any wages, but had only given him a written character, which he pulled out of his cap and wished the magistrate to read. In consequence of not having any money, he was reduced to great "distress, and was not able to procure a situation here. Baylis (the officer) here intimated to the Magistrate that it was only the day before yesterday the applicant had received a sovereign from tlie Lord Mayor, to whom he made an appli cation under precisely similar circumstances. The applic ^ ant stated that it had not all been laid out upon himself. Mr. BENNETT considered that his having been so recently relieved by the Lord Mayor, it was quite impossible that ap plicant could be in such distress as he represented himself to be, and therefore it would not be decent in him (Mr. Bennett) to comply with the request. A gentleman (a surgeon residing in Charter-house-square) who was present, said he was acquainted with the agents to the Turkish Embassy, and with the Magistrate's permission he would write to them, intimating the situation of the applicant. Mr. BENNETT assented, and the note was written, with a view of obtaining a situation for applicant, but not for any temporary relief.—Applicant thanked the worthy Magistrate, and withdrew. TOWN-HALL. A Mrs. Dewsben y, a stay-maker in the Borough, and a Mr. M'Dermot, a potatoe salesman, carrying on his calling in Red Lion-street, Borough-market, appeared before Sir JOHN KEY, to answer the complaint of Eliza Hawkins. The complainant stated that she was servant to a lady named Whiting, who resided in the Clapham road. Some days ago her mistress gave her a sovereign, and being in want of that essential article to the preservation of the female shape—a pair' of stays—she called at the shop of Mrs. Dewsberry, where she purchased a pair, and tendered in payment the sovereign which her mistress had given her. Mr. Dewsberry not being able to give change, sent to her friend the potatoe-dealer, who, not liking the chink of the sovereign, placed it between his grinders and bit it in two. He then refused to give change or return the mutilated sovereign, declaring it to be bad. Under these circumstances, the com plainant was obliged to bring the case before the worthy Al derman, to compel the repayment to her, either by Mr. Dews bury or the potato-dealer, of the sovereign. The mutilated sovereign had been sent to the Mint and pronounced good. After much recrimination on both sides, Mr. M'Dermot agreed to give the complainant another sovereign, declaring that though in the present instance he had acted the part of a sovereign -biter, he would take good care that he did not get bit in future.

VIOLET; OR, TILE OPERA DANCER.—" It ought to he the object of a writer, especially of novels," says the Edinburgh E ven i ng Post, " to present a picture of something ttihich has not been bundled by previous authors. Every effort, therefore, to diverge from the beaten track, and exhibit a new aspect'of nature and human life, ought to be especially applauded; and it is for this reason that we entertain a high opinion of the merits of the present work, which shows that the purest and mort virtuous aspirations can animate the heart even of an opera dancer. The work possesses an absorbing interest as a narrative, characterised by the strongest marks of truth and reality, while, as a literary production, it at once charms and instructs." A general meeting of the members of the General Agricultural Association for Ayrshire was held in the County Hall, on Thursday, Sept. 29. Great complaint and disappointment have been felt at the Southampton regatta having been this year, for the first time, discontinued. , The burning cliff of Holworth excites great interest, having recently presented a more than usually vivid appear ance. Several parties who have within the last fortnight visited this semi-volcano have expressed an equal degree of astonishment and gratification at the continued exhalations and occasional display of ignited substances near its surface. A line of sulphureous vapour now issues out westward of that portion of the cliff which of late attracted public attention. This line of vapour, irregularly stretching from east to west, is now forty feet in length, and about the same in height from the base of the cliff. The late high tides have committed sad havoc at the base of the cliff, and drawn down an im mense quantity of calcined and vitrified substances, well de serving the notice of the geologist and mineralogist...—.
